dE  Springfield  Gas  Machine  has  been  perfected 
by  an  experience  of  more  than  a  third  of  a 
century.  As  it  has  from  the  first  been  made 
of  the  most  durable  materials  and  with  the  most 
perfect  workmanship,  there  are  doubtless  more  of  these 
machines  in  actual  operation  to-day  than  of  all  the  others 
combined.  Thousands  of  other  machines,  which  have 
been  made  of  inferior  material,  are  now  out  of  use,  be¬ 
cause  they  have  been  destroyed  by  corrosion,  often  within 
three  or  four  years  after  being  set  up.  The  air  pump 
and  gas  generator  of  the  Springfield  Machine  are  con¬ 
structed  entirely  of  galvanized  Bessemer  steel,  the  mixer 
of  cast  iron. 

The  fluid  called  gasoline  is  a  pure  spirit,  distilled  from 
naphtha.  It  is  seventeen  per  cent,  hydrogen  and  eighty- 
three  per  cent,  carbon ;  its  weight  is  thirty-five  per  cent.

liquid  into  vapor 
Six  gallons 
of  gasoline  con¬ 
tained  in  a  thou¬ 
sand  cubic  feet 
of  gas,  in  the 
ratio  of  fifteen 
parts  of  gasoline 
vapor  to  eighty- 
five  parts  of  air,

illumination  and 


less  than  that  of  water  ;  its  hy¬ 
drometric  gravity  ranges  from 
86°  to  90°  Baume;  it  is  highly 
volatile,  having  such  strong  af¬ 
finity  for  air  that  when  brought 
in  contact  with  a  current  of  it  at 
normal  temperature,  the  entire 
mass  passes  readily  into  a  vapor* 
leaving  no  residuum  behind. 
This  operation  obeys  the  natural 
law,  that  the  conversion  of  a 
occasions  refrigeration.

heat  units  equal  to  those  contained  in  a  thousand  cubic  feet 
of  standard  city  gas. 

The  office  of  a  gas  machine,  therefore,  when  constructed 
with  full  appreciation  of  the  natural  laws  stated  above,  is  to 
distribute  automatically  six  gallons  of  gasoline  contained  in 
each  thousand  cubic  feet  of  gas,  and  to  make  the  mixture 
constantly  uniform  under  varying  conditions  of  use,  quantity 


AIR  PUMP-PLATE  No.  i 


and  temperature.  It  should  be  so  constructed  that  it  will 
produce  a  gas  of  uniform  quality  for  years  with  no  manipu- 


8 


lation  or  adjustment,  except  to  wind  up  the  propelling- 
weight  once  a  day,  and  supply  the  generator  with  a  proper 
amount  of  gasoline  several  times  a  year. 

The  apparatus  shown  on  Plate  No.  i  is  the  only  device 
ever  offered  which  accomplishes  this  result.  Its  essential 
parts  are  an  Air  Pump,  which  supplies  the  current  of  air,  a 
Gas  Generator  (buried  in  the  earth  thirty  feet  or  more  from 
the  building),  which  contains  the  fluid,  and  furnishes  the 
necessary  evaporating  surface ;  and  a  Mixing  Regulator, 
which  compels  the  proper  proportion  of  air  and  vapor  to 
mingle. 

We  consider  these  three  parts  as  follows  : 

First.  THE  AIR  PUMP,  Plate  No.  i,  is  constructed 
substantially  like  a  meter  wheel,  known  as  a  wet  meter, 
and  formerly  used  to  measure  coal  gas,  differing,  however, 
in  that  the  meter  wheel  was  revolved  by  the  action  of  the 
gas  passing  through  it,  while  our  pump  is  operated  by  a 
weight  or  water  wheel.  This  instrument  is  singularly  well 
adapted  to  its  work.  Since  the  propelling  weight  exerts  a 
uniform  power,  the  pressure  furnished  by  the  pump  is 
always  the  same,  whether  one  burner  be  lighted  or  the  full 
number  for  which  the  pump  is  rated.  But,  in  the  latter 
case,  since  a  larger  volume  of  air  is  required,  the  pump 
responds  to  such  demand  by  a  more  rapid  movement,  so 
that  while  pressure  is  constant,  volume  is  automatically 
variable,  and  the  pump  ceases  to  move  when  all  the  burners 
are  turned  off. 

Plate  No.  2  illustrates  our  WATER-WHEEL  AIR 
PUMP,  one  of  the  most  important  distinctive  features  of 


9 


the  Springfield  Gas  Ma¬ 
chine.  The  action  of  this 
machine  is  entirely  auto¬ 
matic,  the  supply  of  water 
being  controlled  by  the 
rising  and  falling  of  the 
holder  A,  which,  attached 
by  a  lever  to  the  valve 
B,  nicely  regulates  the 
amount  of  water  supplied 
to  the  wheel,  in  exact  pro¬ 
portion  to  the  number  of 
burners  lighted.  If 
all  the  burners  are 
shut  off,  the  pres¬ 
sure,  accumulating 
in  the  holder  A, 
raises  it  and  shuts 
the  water  off  en¬ 
tirely.  Now,  if  a 
single  burner  is 
lighted,  the  holder 
falls  a  trifle,  allow¬ 
ing  only  enough 
water  to  fall  upon 
the  wheel  to  carry 
one  burner.  The 
holder  so  rising  and 
falling  as  burners 


AIR  PUMP  OPERATED  BY  WATER— PLATE  No.  2 


are  turned  off  or  on,  not  an  ounce  of  water  is  wasted,  and 
as  the  water  is  in  no  way  contaminated  by  such  use,  it  may 
be  saved  by  being  drained  into  the  well  or  cistern.  Six 
quarts  of  water  will  run  one  burner  an  hour. 

The  advantages  of  this  Air  Pump  over  that  operated 
by  a  weight  are,  that  it  requires  no  attention  ;  never  runs 


SUMMER  RESIDENCE  OF  R.  A.  SIBLEY,  SPENCER,  MASS. 


down;  is  ready  for  use  at  all  times;  and,  as  it  runs  under  a 
light  power  and  low  speed,  is  more  durable,  and  furnishes 
a  more  uniform  pressure.  These  Pumps  are  sold  at  the 
same  price  as  the  weight  pumps. 

Second.  THE  GAS  GENERATOR,  Plate  No.  i,  has 

every  seam  not  only  riveted  like  a  steam-boiler,  but  massed 


11 


in  solder,  so  that  the  cut  edges  of  the  steel  and  the  exposed 
ends  of  the  rivets  are  completely  plated  with  that  metal.  It 
is  then  covered  with  boiling  tar  in  several  coats.  It  has 
large  capacity,  and  is  so  arranged  as  to  give  the  greatest 
possible  evaporating  surface  to  the  action  of  the  air. 
Strictly  speaking,  it  is  a  compound  generator;  it  is  made 
up  of  a  number  of  evaporating  pans  or  chambers  placed  in 
a  cylinder  one  above  another.  These  chambers  are  divided 
by  frames  (which  support  the  several  pans)  into  sinuous 
passages,  which  are  again  subdivided  by  aprons  of  textile 
fabric,  which,  by  capillary  attraction,  constantly  draw  the 
gasoline  up  into  close  contact  with  the  air  passing  through 


RESIDENCE  OF  M.  B.  RICHARDSON,  LIME  ROCK,  CONN. 


12 


“YADDO,”  RESIDENCE  OF  MR.  SPENCER  TRASK,  AT  SARATOGA 


the  generator.  The  advantage  of  building  a  gas  generator 
upon  the  plan  above  explained  is,  that  in  exposing  a  number 
of  chambers  holding  a  large  quantity  of  fluid  to  the  refriger¬ 
ation  consequent  upon  rapid  evaporation,  this  effect  is 
lessened  proportionately  to  the  extent  of  the  evaporating 
surface  and  quantity  of  fluid  exposed.  For  instance,  sup¬ 
posing  that  a  gas  generator  of  a  certain  size  is  required  to 
supply  five  burners  with  gas,  it  follows  that  to  furnish  fifty 
burners  a  generator  proportionately  larger  should  be  used. 
The  chilling  effect  produced  by  the  rapid  evaporation 
necessary  to  supply  a  large  number  of  burners,  when  con¬ 
centrated  upon  a  small  body  of  fluid,  accounts  for  the  fact 


13 


that  many  machines,  which  work  fairly  well  when  only  a 
few  burners  are  in  use,  fail  utterly  when  the  building  is 
fully  lighted  and  a  much  greater  number  are  burning. 

Gasoline  evaporates  as  the  square  of  its  temperature, 
in  winter  the  temperature  may  be  as  low  as  40°,  while  in 
summer  it  may  rise  as  high  as  8o°.  Hence,  a  generator 
may  do  four  times  as  much  work,  without  artificial  heat, 
at  one  time  as  at  another. 

The  number  of  square  feet  of  evaporating  surface 
required  to  vaporize  a  gallon  of  gasoline  in  a  given  time 
is  as  well  ascertained  as  the  amount  of  surface  in  a  steam 
boiler  required  to  convert  a  gallon  of  water  into  steam. 


RESIDENCE  OF  MR.  ALFRED  A.  POPE,  FARMINGTON,  CONN. 


14 


There  should  be  no  difficulty  in  determining  the  size  of  a 
gas  generator  to  accomplish  any  given  amount  of  work. 
We  are  ready  at  all  times  to  guarantee  the  amount  of  gaso¬ 
line  our  generators  will  evaporate  in  a  given  time. 

Other  things  being  equal,  the  more  evaporating  sur¬ 


face  the  gas  generator  presents,  the  stronger  and  more  uniform 
will  be  the  quality  of  gas  furnished,  and  proportionately  the 
more  reliable  will  be  the  machine. 


15 


Third.  THE  MIXING  REGULATOR,  Plate  No.  3,  is 
the  only  Automatic  Regulator  of  the  quality  of  gasoline  gas 
ever  devised. 

A  boat  floats  in  water  because  the  weight  of  the  vol¬ 
ume  of  water  which  it  displaces  equals  the  weight  of  the 
boat.  The  same  law  governs  aeriform  fluids  or  gases  as 
does  liquids. 

A  balloon  rises  in  air  because  the  weight  of  the  balloon 
and  its  load,  and  the  hydrogen  gas  which  it  contains  is 
less  than  the  air  which  it  displaces. 

Connect  to  Riser  of  Building. 


16 


Plate  No.  4  shows  a  very  substantial  cast-iron  case  in 
which  is  suspended  a  strong  sheet-metal  can  B,  closely 
sealed,  and  containing  nothing  but  air.  The  balance-beam 
E,  to  which  this  is  hung,  is  sustained  by  pin  H  on  agate 
bearings  K.  Since  the  counterpoise  F  exactly  balances 
the  weight  of  the  metal  in  the  can  B  and  its  attachments, 
that  factor  is  eliminated,  and  we  have  only  to  consider  the 
weight  of  the  air  in  the  can,  which  is  a  constant  quantity. 

One  thousand  cubic  feet  of  gasoline  gas  contains 
six  gallons  of  gasoline,  weighing  more  than  thirty 
pounds.  The  air  contained  in  the  can  B  will  therefore 
float  in  any  gasoline  gas  which  may  be  admitted  into  the 
shell  around  it,  and  as  the  gas  tends  to  become  rich  or 
dense,  the  can  rises  and  opens  the  port  C.  and  so  admits 
air  and  dilutes  it.  On  the  other  hand,  if  the  gas  becomes 
thin  and  impoverished,  the  can  falls  and  closes  off  a  portion 
of  the  air  or  all  of  it. 

This  mixer  is  adjusted  when  installed  so  as  to  mingle 
the  air  and  gas  which  pass  through  it  in  the  proportion  of 
1 5  per  cent,  of  vapor  to  85  percent,  of  air.  This  is  a  Gas 
Weighing  Machine.  It  weighs  the  gas  which  passes  through 
it,  and  if  it  is  too  heavy,  it  automatically  opens  an  air-port 
and  makes  it  lighter  ;  or  if  it  is  too  light,  it  automatically 
shuts  the  air-port  and  makes  the  gas  a  little  heavier.  It  is 
a  governor  of  quality.  It  automatically  compels  all  the 
gas  that  passes  through  it  to  contain  the  desired  proportion 
of  air  and  gasoline  vapor. 

It  will  be  seen  that  this  mixer  is  durable  and  should 
last  a  lifetime,  and  that  it  requires  no  attention  whatever; 


17 


once  set  up  right,  it  may  be  left  entirely  to  the  operation 
of  nature’s  unchanging  laws,  certain  to  produce  the  qual¬ 
ity  of  gas  described,  as  long  as  the  gas  generator  is  ade¬ 
quately  supplied  with  gasolene. 

THE  COST  OF  THE  GAS 


As  stated  in  an  early  par¬ 
agraph,  six  gallons  of  gasolene 
are  required  to  make  a  thou¬ 
sand  cubic  feet  of  this  gas,  so 
that  at  twenty-two  cents  per 
gallon,  (the  present  price  of 
gasolene),  the  gas  costs  less 
than  the  average  price  of  city 
gas.  But  since  gasolene  gas 
has  a  higher  value  as  fuel  than 
has  city  gas,  and  since  incan¬ 
descent  lighting  is  a  fuel  prop¬ 
osition,  the  Springfield  Incan¬ 
descent  Burner  with  this  gas 
affords  the  cheapest  ai'tificial 
light  in  the  world.  This  claim 
is  illustrated  by  the  following 
comparisons: 

A  flat  flame  burner  consuming  four  cubic  feet  of  gas 
per  hour,  gives  the  light  of  sixteen  candles,  while  a  Spring- 
field  Incandescent  Burner  consuming  three  feet  of  gas  per 
hour  gives  the  light  of  fifty  candles,  showing  that  light  by 
the  former  method  costs  four  times  as  much  as  by  the  latter.

One  gallon  of  gasolene  costing  twenty-two  cents  will 
supply  a  Springfield  Incandescent  Burner  giving  the  light 
of  twenty-five  candles  for  111  hours. 

Fourteen  pounds  of  Carbide  of  Calcium  costing  fifty- 
six  cents  will  supply  a  burner  giving  the  light  of  twenty- 
five  candles  111  hours.

Acetylene  light  costs  two  and  one-half  times  as  much 
as  gasolene. 

It  costs  from  one-half  to  one  cent  per  hour  to  maintain 
an  electric  lamp,  giving  the  light  of  sixteen  candles,  while 
with  the  Springfield  Incandescent  Burner  gasolene  gas  pro¬ 
duces  the  light  of  sixteen  candles,  while  consuming  one 
cubic  foot  of  gas  per  hour,  costing  one-eighth  of  one  cent. 
Hence,  it  will  be  seen  that  electric  light  costs  from  four  to 
eight  times  as  much  as  light  obtained  by  this  method.

SAFETY  OF  THIS  METHOD 

The  apparatus  illustrated  by  Plate  No.  i,  is  installed 
in  exact  accordance  with  the  Rules  of  the  New  York 
Board  of  Fire  Underwriters,  as  revised  and  published 
October  20,  1886,  a  copy  of  which  will  be  furnished  on 
application. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  gas  generator  which  contains 
all  the  gasoline  is  located  underground  at  least  thirty  feet 
from  the  building.  We  have  now  many  thousands  of  these 
machines  in  use,  covering  a  practice  of  thirty-six  years  and 
we  don’t  know  that  any  insurance  company  has  ever  paid 
a  dollar  of  loss  caused  by  one  of  them.

UTILITY  OF  THE  GAS 

Gasoline  gas  is  an  economical  and  convenient  fuel  for 
cooking  and  laundry  purposes.  This  is  clearly  shown  by 
our  illustrated  catalog  (mailed  free)  of  gas  ranges,  broilers, 


23 


laundry  iron  heaters,  gas  logs,  gas  stoves,  water  heaters 
and  gas  radiators. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  uses  to  which  gas  may  be 
put  in  promoting  domestic  comfort  is  undoubtedly  that 
in  connection  with  the  preparation  of  food. 

For  these  purposes  it  has  been  extensively 
adopted  by  the  general  public. 

Its  use  for  cooking  is  of  special 
interest  to  those  having  gasoline 
gas  machines,  be¬ 
cause  of  the  pe¬ 
culiar  adaptability 
of  the  gas  for  fuel 
purposes.

Since  gas  heaters  have  been  developed  for  the  rapid 
and  economical  heating  of  the  water  in  the  kitchen  boiler, 
no  objection  remains  to  the  complete  discarding  of  coal 
and  wood  for  kitchen  and  laundry  uses. 

This  gas  is  used  as  fuel  in  the  mechanical  arts  for  heat¬ 
ing  light  forgings;  melting  gold,  silver,  brass,  glass,  and  the 
like,  soldering,  brazing,  bluing;  in  canneries  and  by  manu¬ 
facturers  of  hollow  ware.  We  invite  correspondence  on  this 
branch  of  the  subject,  and  we  will  submit  plans  and  estimates 
for  the  construction  of  special  apparatus  for  generating 
fuel  gas  from  the  cheaper  products  of  naphtha,  known  as 
stove  gasoline.  For  these  purposes  this  gas  is  used  by 


25 


more  than  two  hundred  and  fifty  canners  and  can  makers; 
in  about  a  hundred  laboratories  and  by  a  thousand  other 
manufactories  in  which  a  gaseous  fuel  is  adaptable. 

The  following  village  plants,  most  of  them  regularly 
incorporated  gas  companies,  are  supplying  gas  made  by 
these  machines,  satisfactorily  to  their  customers  and  profit¬ 
ably  to  their  owners  :

and  the  laboratory  being-  furnished  with  Bunsen  burners 
and  usual  laboratory  apparatus. 

The  farthest  building-  from  the  gas  house  is  two 
thousand  feet  away,  and  at  an  elevation  of  a  hundred  feet 
above  the  machine.  This  apparatus  delivered  last  year  three 
and  a  half  millions  cubic  feet  of  gas,  and  from  the  time  the 
plant  was  started  to  this  date  the  gas  has  never  failed  to 
respond  to  every  demand  which  has  been  made  upon  it. 


TO  PEOPLE  WHO  ARE  BUILDING 


We  venture  to  suggest  the  propriety  of  your  putting 
in  pipes  for  gas,  even  though  you  may  not  contemplate  the 
immediate  purchasing  of  a  Gas  Machine ;  for  the  expense 
of  putting  in  pipes,  if  done  at  the  proper  time,  while  the 
structure  is  in  progress,  is  trifling. 

Ordinary  pipes,  such  as  are  used  in  the  introduction 
of  coal-gas,  are  the  only  ones  needed.

For  the  proper  flow  and  operation  of  Machine  Gas,  it 
is  important  that  all  bracket-pipes  be  run  up  from  the  floor 
below,  in  distinction  to  dropping  from  overhead;  that  all 
branch  pipes  for  center  lights  be  taken  from  the  side  of  the 
running  lines ;  that  the  whole  system  of  piping  should  tend 
to  decline  toward  the  main  rising  pipe,  and  be  free  from 
low  places  or  traps,  and  be  proven  with  a  pressure  of  air, 
under  a  test  gauge,  to  be  perfectly  air  and  gas  tight. 

The  following  scale  of  sizes  of  pipe,  and  number  of 
burners  to  be  supplied  therefrom,  is  found  by  experience 
to  show  the  proper  size  to  secure  a  good  flow  of  gas  and 
to  give  the  most  satisfactory  results:

Letters  from  some  who  are  using 

our  Machine : 


Mount  Holyoke  College 
South  Hadley,  Mass. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Northampton,  Mass.,  June  9,  1905. 

Springfield,  Mass. 

Gentlemen — The  2000-light  Springfield  Gas  Machine  which  you  fur¬ 
nished  Mount  Holyoke  College  in  1897,  lighting  the  seven  dormitories  > 
and  administration  building,  science  hall,  laboratory,  gymnasium,  art 
building  and  library,  has  been  in  use  for  eight  years,  and  is  giving  very 
good  satisfaction. 

With  your  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator  and  incandescent  burners, 
the  quality  of  the  light  is  good  and  well  adapted  to  all  various  purposes 
of  the  institution,  and  I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  so  report  to  you. 

About  a  year  ago  you  made  us  a  special  burner  for  use  under  chafing 
dishes,  and  we  have  installed  several  hundred  of  them  to  our  satisfaction, 
and  we  find  them  much 'more  economical  and  safer  than  lamps  using 
alcohol.  Yours  truly,  (Signed)  A.  L.  WILLISTON,  Treas. 

H.  M.  Flagler. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Palm  Beach,  Florida,  Oct.  4,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — In  reply  to  your  inquiry  of  the  3d  inst.  as  to  my  opinion 
regarding  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine,  I  beg  to  say  that  I  have  had  one 
in  use  at  my  country  home  in  Mamaroneck  for  twenty  years.  It  gives  me 
entire  satisfaction.  When  we  built  the  Royal  Poinciana  Hotel  at  Palm 
Beach,  we  lighted  with  gas,  installing  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine,  which, 
if  I  remember  correctly,  had  nearly  3000  burners.  At  that  time  I  think 
it  was  the  largest  private  gas  machine  in  the  country.  We  are  still  using 
the  machine  to  its  utmost  capacity  for  laundry  and  other  heating  pur¬ 
poses.  I  do  not  know  of  any  gas  machine  that  is  any  better. 

Yours  truly,  H.  M.  FLAGLER.

H.  H.  Rogers,  26  Broadway. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York,  Nov.  28,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — I  have  used  your  Combination  Mixing  Regulator  in  con¬ 
nection  with  your  Springfield  Gas  Machine  for  the  lighting  of  my  house 
and  stable  at  Fairhaven,  Mass.,  during  the  past  ten  years.  The  regulator 
has  governed  the  quality  of  gas  most  perfectly,  regardless  of  the  number 
of  burners  in  use,  and  by  its  perfect  automatic  control  removes  the  old 
objection  of  smoke.  Yours  truly, 

H.  H.  ROGERS. 


Dosoris  Park,  Glen  Cove,  L.  I.,  Nov.  6,  1905. 
Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Dear  SirsA — The  three  Combination  Mixing  Regulators  in  use  in  our 
houses  at  Dosoris  Park,  L.  I.,  during  the  past  eight  or  ten  years,  have 
given  entire  satisfaction. 

The  automatic  control  regulates  the  quantity  and  quality  of  the  gas 
so  perfectly  that  we  do  not  have  to  adjust  either  of  the  machines  during 
the  entire  season.  Yours  truly,  C.  M.  PRATT. 


Grand  Central  Station. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York,  February  17,  1903. 

Gentlemen — In  response  to  your  inquiry,  I  would  say  that  the  two 
gas  machines  and  automatic  mixers  which  you  installed  at  Sagamore 
Lodge,  have  so  far  proved  very  satisfactory.  Yours  truly, 

ALFRED  G.  VANDERBILT. 


Rosemount  Hall,  Esopus-on-the-Hudson. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Your  letter  of  advice  of  January  3d  is  very  much  appreciated,  and  I 
beg  to  acknowledge  your  courtesy. 

Your  Gas  Machine  has  proved  a  great  success  with  us.  As  we  use  the 
incandescent  burners  the  light  cannot  be  excelled,  and  light  was  all  we 
expected  at  first.  But  we  added  gas  logs  in  a  few  rooms,  then  conven¬ 
iences  for  the  laundry  and  butler’s  pantry,  and  hot  water  heater  for 
summer,  and  finally  we  added  a  gas-power  engine  to  be  operated  at  the 
barn  together  with  a  pumping  engine.  And  it  does  all  of  these  things  well. 

Very  truly  yours,  ALTON  B.  PARKER. 


F.  P.  Olcott,  54  Wall  Street. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York  November  13,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  U-as  Machine  which  you  installed  to  light 
my  residence  in  Bernardsville,  N.  J.,  some  sixteen  years  ago,  has  always 
given  me  satisfaction,  and  has  abundantly  justified  the  claims  you  made 
for  it.  Most  truly  yours,  F.  P.  OLCOTT. 

Id.  O.  Havemeyer,  1 17  Wall  Street. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York  November  30,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — It  affords  me  great  pleasure  to  testify  to  the  excellent 
working  of  the  Gas  Machine  furnished  by  you,  and  which  has  been  in 
uninterrupted  good  working  order  for  fifteen  years. 

That  part  of  the  apparatus  known  as  the  “  Mixer”  has  done  admirable 
and  satisfactory  service.  Yours  truly,  H.  O.  HAVEMEYER.

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Boston,  November  24,  1905. 

Gentlemen — In  reply  to  your  inquiry  as  to  how  I  like  the  Springfield 
Gas  Machines  that  you  have  put  in  for  me  in  North  Easton,  I  would  say 
that  in  the  last  fourteen  years  I  have  had  five  of  them  put  in,  and  up  to 
date  they  have  given  most  perfect  satisfaction  in  every  way.  We  have 
had  practically  no  repairs  on  them  and  they  have  caused  not  the  slightest 
trouble  or  anxiety.  At  this  writing  I  consider  them  by  far  the  most  per¬ 
fect  and  satisfactory  machine  of  the  kind  I  have  ever  seen. 

Yours  very  truly,  OLIVER  AMES. 

Spencer  Trask. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York,  November  15,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — Your  Gas  Machine  has  been  in  use  at  ‘‘ Yaddo,”  my  Sara¬ 
toga  country  home,  for  the  past  twmnty-two  years,  and  has  given  general 
satisfaction.  Yours  truly,  SPENCER  TRASK. 


John  Sloane,  884  Broadway. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Lenox,  Mass.,  November  23,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — The  300-light  machine,  and  the  75-light  machine,  give 
excellent  service  and  have  proved  most  satisfactory  to  me. 

Very  respectfully,  JOHN  SLOANE.

32  Nassau  Street,  New  York  City,  September  6,  1898. 
Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Dear  Sirs — As  to  your  machine  used  in  my  residence,  at  Oakdale,  L.  I., 
I  would  say: 

First,  that  the  Automatic  Regulator  is  capable  of  reducing  the  gas  to 
a  substantially  uniform  quality,  which  can  be  burned  through  plain 
burners. 

Second,  the  Air  Pump  of  my  machine  is  operated  by  a  Water-wheel 
which  has  given  entire  satisfaction. 

My  machine  has  been  in  use  for  about  fourteen  years. 

Yours  truly,  W.  BAYARD  CUTTING. 

New  York,  November  28,  1905. 

Mr.  Cutting  authorizes  us  to  say  that  he  has  not  changed  his  opinion 
as  expressed  above  after  a  further  experience  of  seven  years. 

GILBERT  &  BARKER  MFG.  CO. 


Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York,  October  3,  1905. 

Gentlemen — -Some  seven  or  eight  years  ago,  your  mixing  regulator 
having  been  brought  to  my  attention,  I  contracted  with  you  to  put  one 
in  my  residence  in  New  Jersey,  and  it  is  a  source  of  pleasure  to  say  that 
it  has  worked  with  entire  satisfaction,  and  during  that  period  of  time  has 
never  given  us  one  moment’s  trouble;  on  the  contrary,  it  has  been  a  great 
comfort  and  our  gas  has  been  perfectly  regulated.  Our  entire  family 
are  loud  in  their  praises  of  the  new  combination  mixer.  By  its  use 
we  are  enabled  also  to  use  incandescent  burners,  and  they  work  most 
perfectly  under  the  new  process.  Yours  very  truly, 

DUMONT  CLARKE.

Gentlemen — For  some  years  I  have  had  in  use  in  my  country  residence 
at  Bernardsville,  N.  J.,  a  Springfield  Gas  Machine,  with  Automatic  Mixer. 

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  the  machine  works  satisfactorily, 
gives  good  light  and  is  economical  in  its  operation.  I  remain, 

Very  truly  yours,  JOHN  F.  DRYDEN.

Dear  Sirs — I  have  used  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine  in  my  house  and 
stable  at  Bernardsville,  N.  J.,  since  the  summer  of  1899,  and  gladly  ex¬ 
press  my  satisfaction  with  the  illuminating  power  of  the  gas,  and  what  is 
equally  important,  with  the  working  of  the  machine,  which  has  never 
been  out  of  order  during  that  time.  Yours  truly, 

THOMAS  HUNT.

Dear  Sirs — Your  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator  which  you  put  in  my 
house  at  Far  Hills,  N.  J.,  nine  years  ago,  is  in  all  respects  satisfactory. 

Very  truly  yours,  JOHN  F.  DILLON.

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  with  Automatic  Mixing  Regu¬ 
lator  was  installed  at  my  summer  residence  at  Spencer,  Mass.,  in  June, 
1899,  and  it  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  it  has  given  perfect  satisfac¬ 
tion  in  every  particular.  It  is  easily  cared  for  and  so  far  has  required  no 
repairs.  Respectfully,  RUFUS  A.  SIBLEY.

Gentlemen — Your  favor  of  the  13th  inst.  is  at  hand  and  I  am  happy 
to  say  in  reply:  The  Eastern  Point  Gas  Co.  is  a  voluntary  association  of 
thirteen  seaside  summer  cottages  at  Eastern  Point,  at  the  mouth  of  New 
London  Harbor,  Conn. 

We  have  one  of  your  plants  which  has  been  in  operation  for  about 
seventeen  years,  although  the  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator  was  put  in 
about  seven  years  ago. 

These  cottages  are  all  of  them  of  fair  size  and  will  probably  average 
about  twelve  rooms  in  each  house.  The  machine  has  done  us  excellent 
service,  supplying  both  the  ordinary  and  incandescent  burners. 

I  am,  very  truly  yours,  GEORGE  D.  COIT,  Treas.,

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Belvidere,  N.  J.,  October  28,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs— I  have  used  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine  with  Mixing  Regu¬ 
lator  in  my  home  for  several  years,  and  it  has  proved  satisfactory. 

The  Regulator  is  certainly  a  great  improvement. 

The  Air  Pump  operated  by  a  Water-wheel  is  a  success. 

Yours  truly,  D.  C.  BLAIR. 

E.  T.  Bedford,  26  Broadway. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co  New  York,  November  28,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — I  have  had  one  of  your  Springfield  Gas  Machines  at  my 
country  residence  at  Green’s  Farms  for  the  past  sixteen  years.  The 
Mixer,  with  very  little  attention,  secures  to  us  a  uniform  gas,  which  burns 
without  smoke  with  the  ordinary  plain  burners,  the  same  as  we  are  using 
at  our  home  in  Brooklyn.  The  Water-wheel  Air  Pump  is  a  very  great 
improvement  over  the  weight,  requiring  no  attention  whatever.

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Tenafly,  N.  J.,  Sept.  7,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — After  ten  years  experience  with  the  Automatic  Mixing 
Regulator,  which  commenced  operation  Nov.  13,  1895,  burning  incandes¬ 
cent,  Argand  and  Batswing  lights,  and  after  running  the  gas  range  and 
gas  heaters  at  the  same  time,  I  am  satisfied  that  the  action  of  the  regulator 
is  excellent.  The  illumination  of  my  house  is  not  surpassed  by  any  method 
of  which  I  have  any  knowledge  in  respect  of  brilliancy,  steadiness  or 
expense.  Your  obedient  servant,  CHARLES  PAINE.

Gentlemen— It  is  now  over  fourteen  years  since  you  installed  one  of 
your  gas  machines  in  my  residence,  and  it  affords  me  pleasure  to  testify 
to  its  uniform  excellence  and  adaptability  to  meet  all  the  requirements 
for  gas  lighting  in  country  houses. 

The  repairs  and  renewals  demanded  by  constant  use  have  been 
inconsiderable  and  the  light  furnished  has  been  in  all  respects  satis¬ 
factory.  Very  respectfully,  ROBT.  A.  GRANNISS.

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Philadelphia,  February  20,  1903. 

Gentlemen — Years  ago  I  put  in  a  Springfield  Gas  Machine  and  Mixer, 
and  the  result  has  been  very  satisfactory.  I  had  electric  lights  in  my 
house  and  I  cut  them  out,  as  the  Gas  Machine  gave  me  much  better  light 
and  cost  only  about  half.  The  Jenkmtown  and  Chittenham  Gas  Company 
about  two  years  ago,  ran  their  pipes  past  my  house,  and  I  thought  I  would 
put  that  in  for  lighting,  and  use  the  Gas  Machine  for  cooking,  and  I  got 
them  to  put  it  in  and  used  it  up  to  last  September,  when  I  decided  on 
account  of  the  poor  light  and  heavy  gas  bills  to  discontinue  it,  which  I 
did,  and  connected  my  gas  plant  to  light  the  house  again;  the  result  is,  I 
have  twice  a  better  light  at  about  half  the  cost,  and  we  do  nearly  all  the 
cooking  and  part  heating  with  it.  I  would  not  give  it  up  again  for  any 
gas  company.  Very  truly  yours,  S.  JOHN  LEA. 


William  Porter  Allen,  10  Wall  Street. 

Gilbert  and  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  New  York,  October  9,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — We  are  pleased  to  state  that  we  used  your  gas  machine 
with  Mixing  Regulator  for  about  fifteen  years,  and  until  parts  of  the  ma¬ 
chine  were  worn  out.  During  that  time  we  had  a  uniform  quality  of  gas 
without  the  use  of  chimneys  and  without  smoke.  Four  years  ago  new 
parts  were  supplied  and  the  machine  thoroughly  overhauled,  and  since 
then  we  have  had  no  trouble  of  any  kind  with  the  machine  and  it  works 
as  well  today  as  it  did  the  first  day  it  was  in  use. 

Very  truly  yours,  WM.  PORTER  ALLEN,

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  and  Automatic  Mixing 
Regulator,  which  you  put  in  for  me  at  my  residence,  Villa  Nova,  seven 
years  ago,  has  given  me  the  greatest  satisfaction.  It  is  all  that  you 
represented  it  to  be,  and  I  would  not  exchange  it  now  for  either  coal  gas 
or  electric  light.  With  the  incandescent  burners  and  with  the  ordinary 
burners  it  works  admirably,  and  I  have  not  had  the  least  trouble,  nor  has 
there  been  a  moment’s  time  when  it  has  not  been  in  good  working  order. 

Very  truly  yours  H.  LAUSSAT  GEYELIN.

Dear  Sirs — It  is  now  nearly  nine  years  since  my  experience  began 
with  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine,  and  I  am  very  glad  to  be  able  to  say 
a  word  not  only  in  praise  of  the  machine  and  its  satisfactory  workmanship  , 
but  also  as  to  the  marked  courtesy  invariably  shown  in  all  business  deal¬ 
ings  with  your  company.  M3C  outfit  consists  of  two  machines  with  Water¬ 
wheels  and  Automatic  Mixers.  The  light  is  used  as  an  auxiliary,  and 
fuel  is  also  supplied  for  certain  uses  in  the  kitchen.  In  both  departments 
the  machines  have  always  given  entire  satisfaction,  are  very  cheap  to 
maintain  and  perfectly  simple  in  construction  and  care.  Wishing  you 
continued  prosperity,  so  richly  deserved,  I  am, 

Very  truly  yours,  ALLEN  T.  TREADWAY.

stant  use  in  my  dwelling  house  for  more  than  thirty  years  past,  and  have 
found  it  in  every  way  satisfactory,  costing  in  all  those  years  scarcely  any¬ 
thing  for  repairs,  and  taking  little  time  to  attend  to  same.  A  few  months 
ago  I  had  the  Combination  Mixing  Regulator  attached,  by  which  I  can 
now  use  the  incandescent  burners,  which  give  a  steady  light  of  great 
power  and  brilliancy,  superior  to  the  electric  light,  and  at  a  very  much 
less  cost.  I  take  great  pleasure  in  giving  you  this  recommendation. 

Yours  very  respectfully,  EDWARD  GLENN.

East  Northfield,  Mass.,  June  27,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — We  wish  to  give  you  our  testimony  for  the  efficiency  of 
the  Mixing  Regulator  which  goes  with  your  Springfield  Gas  Machine. 
The  first  machine  which  you  put  in  for  any  of  the  Northfield  schools  was 
without  that  adjunct,  but  since  then  you  have  put  in  for  us  seven  of  your 
Gas  Machines,  all  with  the  Mixing  Regulator  attached.  These  seven 
machines  have  not  given  us  so  much  trouble  as  the  old  one  without  the 
Regulator. 

In  these  seven  places  we  find  your  regulator  a  very  great  help,  in 
fact  well  nigh  a  necessity  for  the  most  efficient  service  of  your  gas  machines. 

Very  truly  yours,  A.  G.  MOODY,  Superintendent.

Dear  Sirs — We  desire  to  state  that  we  have  been  using  your  Gas 
Machine  for  making  naphtha  gas  for  twenty  years.  It  does  all  you  claim 
for  it,  and  has  proved  entirely  satisfactory  in  every  respect.

Dear  Sirs — It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  the  Springfield  Gas 
Machine  and  Mixer  installed  at  the  Rhode  Island  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station  in  the  summer  of  1890  has  given  perfect  satisfaction,  and  is  still 
working  as  well  as  could  be  .desired.  Another  machine  installed  in  the 
college  a  year  or  two  later,  which  is  operated  by  a  water  motor,  has  also 
proved  equally  satisfactory.  Very  truly  yours,  H.  J.  WHEELER.

Office  of  Town  Clerk  and  Treasurer. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Warren,  Mass.,  November  16,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  with  Automatic  Mixer  was 
installed  in  our  Town  Hall  in  April,  1898,  and  the  gas  is  burned  through 
flat  flame  and  incandescent  burners,  giving  us  a  good  light  without  any 
odor  or  smoke.  The  machine  requires  very  little  care,  and  has  given  uni¬ 
versal  satisfaction  since  its  installation. 

Respectfully  yours,  CHARLES  B.  BLAIR, 
Town  Clerk  and  Treasurer,  Town  of  Warren. 


American  Optical  Company. 

Southbridge,  Mass.,  February  11,  1903. 
Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Dear  Sirs — We  have  had  your  Springfield  Gas  Machine  in  successful 
use  for  the  past  twenty-four  years,  using  the  gas  for  illuminating  pur¬ 
poses,  soldering,  melting  gold  and  silver,  annealing,  tempering,  harden¬ 
ing,  and  for  all  kinds  of  heating  purposes. 

The  Water-wheel  Air  Pump,  connected  with  the  plant,  is  always 
ready  for  duty  for  any  number  of  hours  daily,  and  needs  but  little  atten¬ 
tion.  The  Mixing  Regulator  reduces  the  gas  to  a  standard  quality,  which 
burns  from  common  burners.  We  believe  that  our  gas  plant  utilizes,  in 
the  best  possible  manner,  all  that  there  is  in  gasoline,  either  for  heating 
or  illuminating  purposes.  Yours  truly, 

AMERICAN  OPTICAL  CO.,

Dear  Sirs — In  reply  to  your  letter  of  the  13th,  inquiring  as  to  my 
experience  with  a  Springfield  Gas  Machine  in  my  house  at  Ashfield, 
Mass.,  I  would  say  that  during  the  seven  years  in  which  this  machine, 
together  with  the  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator,  has  been  in  use  it  has 
given  entire  satisfaction  and  has  proven  to  be  all  and  more  than  I  expected. 
I  have  also  used  the  incandescent  burner  and  your  ordinary  burner,  and 
they  have  both  given  a  fine  light.  I  have  used  the  gas  for  heating  pur¬ 
poses,  and  the  machine  has  proven  equally  as  satisfactory  in  this  partic¬ 
ular.  Yours  very  truly,  M.  M.  BELDING.

Dear  Sirs— It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  during  the  past  ten 
years  I  have  used  at  my  summer  home  at  Middlebury,  Conn.,  one  of  your 
Springfield  Gas  Machines,  with  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator.  I  have 
also  made  use  of  your  gas  in  our  range  during  the  summer  months,  all 
giving  the  utmost  satisfaction.  Very  respectfully  yours,

Dear  Sirs — I  have  had  in  use  at  my  hotel  at  Mystic  Island,  for  the 
past  nineteen  years,  one  of  your  ioodight  Gas  Machines  Its  work  has 
been  so  satisfactory  that  in  the  spring  of  1897,  I  placed  another  in  my 
house  here,  with  which  I  light  residence,  hot-house  and  barn,  besides 
doing  the  summer  cooking  and  laundry.  With  the  Automatic  Mixer, 
which  is  used  with  both  machines,  the  labor  incidental  to  their  care  is 
reduced  to  a  minimum.  Sincerely  yours,  C.  H.  OSGOOD.

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Springfield,  Mass.,  November  2,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine,  which  you  placed  in  my 
residence  at  Northboro  twenty  years  ago,  has  been  in  operation  at  all 
times  when  the  house  has  been  occupied  since.  Six  years  ago  an  Auto¬ 
matic  Mixer  was  put  in,  which  with  the  water-wheel  pump  makes  it  a  very 
simple  machine,  requiring  but  very  little  care.  I  do  not  use  the  gas 
for  anything  but  lighting,  but  for  that  purpose  it  has  been  perfectly 
satisfactory.  The  light  is  steady.  The  machine  has  given  me  no  trouble 
nor  care  whatever.  Yours  truly,  D.  B.  WESSON.

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  and  Automatic  Mixing 
Regulator  which  you  installed  in  my  house  six  years  ago  has  proved  to 
be  absolutely  perfect.  I  use  incandescent  burners;  light  from  eight  to 
ten  rooms;  use  a  gas  broiler  in  summer  at  an  average  expense  of  less  than 
six  cents  a  day.  Have  not  laid  out  one  cent  on  the  machine  since  it  was 
started.  It  is  just  O.  K.  in  every  particular.  E.  G.  CLARK.

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Somers,  Conn.,  November  22,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — Yours  of  the  20th  received.  On  January  30,  1895,  1 
wrote  you  as  follows:  “I  have  used  your  Mixing  Regulator  in  connection 
with  my  Gas  Machine  in  my  house  in  this  place  for  over  twelve  years.  I 
regard  the  whole  apparatus  as  the  safest  and  most  reliable  now  known, 
and  can  thoroughly  recommend  it  as  producing  a  gas  of  uniform  quality, 
free  from  smoke.”  Since  that  time  I  have  introduced  an  Automatic 
Mixing  Regulator,  which  has  worked  to  our  entire  satisfaction,  furnishing 
uniform  gas  without  care  or  attention,  which  we  think  is  a  great  improve¬ 
ment  over  our  experience  in  the  twelve  years  noted  above. 

Yours  truly,  H.  R.  KIBBE.

Dear  Sirs — It  gives  me  pleasure  in  reply  to  your  letter  of  recent  date 
to  most  cordially  recommend  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine  and  Mixer, 
which  I  have  had  in  use  at  my  residence  for  the  past  eighteen  years,  the 
light  being  very  bright  and  steady  and  the  machine  in  all  ways  as  recom¬ 
mended.  Very  truly  yours,  GEO.  W  MITCHELL.

Dear  Sirs — The  Gas  Machine  with  Mixing  Regulator  that  you  put  in 
at  Hatchetts,  South  Lyme,  Conn.,  after  sixteen  years’  experience,  we 
are  pleased  to  say  gives  splendid  satisfaction.  With  a  little  care  first  of 
the  season,  the  five  cottages,  casino  and  street  lamps  have  gone  through 
the  summer  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  interested. 

Respectfully,  A.  B.  WALLACE.

Dear  Sirs — -I  have  used  your  Gas  Machine  with  the  Mixing  Regulator 
attachment  for  lighting  my  house  for  twenty  years.  I  have  had  no 
trouble,  and  have  found  the  regulator  reliable  and  efficient.  It  makes  gas 
uniform  in  quality,  and  I  burn  it  through  plain  burners.  I  should  think 
our  climate  afforded  a  severe  test  of  your  process.  J.  P.  WISER.

the  Springfield  Gas  Machine  placed  in  our  school  building  by  you  in  1900 
has  been  in  use  ever  since  without  an  hour  of  lost  time  to  us  because  of 
any  trouble  with  the  machine.  It  has  proved  perfectly  satisfactory  to  us 
in  every  respect.  Yours  very  truly,  H.  HOWARD  NOYES,  Sec’y,

Gentlemen — -We  are  pleased  to  inform  you  that  after  three  years’ 
usage  of  your  gas  plant,  installed  in  our  store,  will  say  that  it  has  been

Gentlemen — Some  fifteen  years  ago  I  had  one  of  your  Gas  Machines 
put  in  and  it  has  given  me  such  satisfaction  that  perhaps  a  testimonial 
from  me  might  be  acceptable  to  your  company.  We  have  a  gas  stove,  and 
from  April  to  October  we  do  all  our  cooking  with  gas,  and  in  hot

Gentlemen — It  gives  me  great  pleasure  in  behalf  of  the  Directors  of 
the  Sharon  Sanitarium  to  state  that  the  gasoline  plant  which  you  placed 
in  the  institution  about  five  years  ago  has  given  us  much  satisfaction.

Dear  Sirs — I  consider  your  Gas  Machine  and  appliances  most  satis¬ 
factory.  Relations  with  you  have  been  very  pleasant  and  you  have 
fulfilled  your  contracts  with  me  even  better  than  I  expected.  The  light 
is  much  better  than  city  gas,  and  more  economical.

Dear  Sirs — Replying  to  yours  of  recent  date,  will  say  that  the 
Springfield  Gas  Machine  which  you  put  in  for  me  in  1895  did  its  work  to 
perfection,  not  only  lighting  my  hotel  with  satisfaction,  but  furnishing 
fuel  for  heating  my  carving  table  and  griddle-cake  baker.  The  Automatic 
Mixing  Regulator,  which  you  installed  with  the  plant,  kept  the  lights 
always  brilliant  and  steady  with  not  the  least  blowing,  so  common  with 
some  gas  machines.  It  will  give  me  pleasure  to  recommend  your  ma¬ 
chine  to  anyone  desiring  a  good  and  economical  lighting  plant.

Dear  Sirs — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  that  I  bought  of  you  ten 
years  ago  for  the  Vineyard  Sound  House  at  Falmouth  Heights,  Mass., 
gives  entire  satisfaction,  and  I  cannot  speak  in  too  high  terms  of  the 
Automatic  Mixing  Regulator.  It  not  only  regulates  the  lights  to  perfec¬ 
tion,  but  it  prevents  all  smoking  and  odor.  I  could  not  afford  to  be 
without  it.  Yours  respectfully,  G.  W.  GIDDINGS.

Pawnee  House

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Dear  Sirs — I  have  now  used  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine  sixteen 
seasons  with  entire  satisfaction,  without  any  expense  as  to  repairs,  and  at 
a  saving  of  about  fifty  per  cent,  in  the  price  of  gas. 

The  Water-wheel  Pump  and  Mixer  are  a  great  success. 

The  Mixer  is  simple,  easily  adjusted,  and  regulates  the  quality  of 
gas  to  just  the  quality  of  light  that  is  desired. 

I  have  had  to  regulate  the  quality  only  three  times  in  burning  what 
my  generator  holds  (15  bbls.). 

The  Mixing  Regulator  is  indispensable  to  a  perfect  working  outfit. 

Yours  truly,  J.  G.  BASSETT.

Gentlemen — The  Springfield  Gasoline  Machine  which  you  put  in  for 
me  at  Beverly  Farms  some  years  ago,  has  fulfilled  your  promises  in  every 
way;  it  does  its  work  perfectly  and  has  been  most  satisfactory,  having  all 
the  advantages  and  simplicity  of  city  gas,  while  giving  nearly  twice  as 
much  light.  Your  representatives  have  been  most  courteous  in  installing 
the  plant,  and  it  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  commend  your  apparatus  to 
anyone.  Very  truly  yours,  FRANK  SEABURY.

Dear  Sirs — In  answer  to  your  inquiry  I  am  pleased  to  state  that  the 
300-light  mixer  which  you  put  in  ten  years  ago  has  given  perfect  satis¬ 
faction.  We  have  had  a  very  fine  light  in  every  part  of  the  house  and 
free  from  smoke.  In  our  public  rooms  we  have  used  incandescent 
burners.  The  light  has  been  more  brilliant  than  any  we  have  seen  used 
with  the  common  gas.  Very  respectfully  yours,  F.  G.  STAPLES.

Dear  Sirs — I  have  used  one  of  your  Springfield  Gas  Machines  with 
Mixing  Regulator  for  the  past  seven  years.  It  has  worked  perfectly  in 
every  respect  and  has  given  entire  satisfaction.  The  cost  of  the  light  is 
comparatively  small  and  the  increased  convenience  over  lamps  and 
candles  is  immeasurable. 

I  use  the  gas  furnished  by  the  machine  as  motive  power  in  a  gas

Dear  Sir — In  reply  to  your  inquiry  in  regard  to  the  working  of  the 
Springfield  Gas  Machine  which  you  put  into  my  house  at  Milton,  I  would 
say  that  during  the  four  years  it  has  been  in  my  house  it  has  given  entire 
satisfaction,  and  I  have  had  no  difficulty  whatever  in  using  the  incandes¬ 
cent  mantles  on  the  burners,  and  I  have  no  hesitation  in  recommending 
it  to  anyone  wanting  a  good  gas  machine.

South  Swansea,  Mass.,  December  2,  1905. 
Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Gentlemen — The  Springfield  Gas  Machine  which  you  installed  in  our 
house  five  years  ago  has  proved  very  satisfactory.  We  use  incandescent 
burners  and  have  the  best  light  that  I  know  of.  The  cost  of  gasoline 
is  very  small  compared  with  the  light  furnished.  The  care  is  not  much 
more  than  a  clock  which  has  to  be  wound  daily,  besides  about  two  hours’ 
work  twice  a  year  filling  the  tank. 

Very  truly  yours,  CHAS.  A.  CHASE.

your  Springfield  Gas  Machines  for  two  different  houses  and  find  them  thus 
far  perfectly  satisfactory.  Am  also  using  one  of  your  gas  ranges,  and 
find  that  equally  as  good.  The  machines  referred  to  have  been  installed 
about  three  years.  Yours  very  truly,  GEO.  H.  TALBOT.

Gentlemen — Your  favor  of  the  15th  inst.,  was  duly  received  and  noted. 

In  answer  to  your  inquiry  as  to  my  opinion  of  the  Springfield  Gas 
Machine,  would  say  that  I  can  only  speak  words  of  praise,  having  used 
one  for  lighting  my  dwelling  house  twenty-three  years.  The  fact  of  its 
giving  such  good  satisfaction  was  what  induced  me  to  put  in  another 
plant  at  the  Ray  Memorial  Library  a  year  ago,  and  also  induced  the 
Trustees  of  Dean  Academy  this  spring  to  adopt  your  system  of  lighting. 
At  this  institution  they  have  a  large  machine  and  besides  lighting  their 
own  buildings  exceedingly  well,  furnish  light  for  one  church,  one  brick 
block  in  which  there  are  stores,  halls,  and  office  rooms,  and  two  dwelling 
houses  one-eighth  of  a  mile  distant. 

Hope  it  may  continue  to  give  as  good  satisfaction  in  years  to  come 
as  it  has  the  past  three  months. 

Yours  truly, 


ALBERT  D.  THAYER.

Dear  Sir — Replying  to  your  kind  favor  under  date  of  June  15th, 
wherein  you  ask  what  satisfaction  I  have  received  from  the  gas  plant 
which  you  installed  for  me  at  my  summer  home  at  Matunuc,  R.  I.,  I  beg 
to  say  that  it  has  been  entirely  satisfactory.  You  will  remember  that  I 
installed  this  plant  a  year  ago  this  month.  It  has  afforded  me  all  of  the 
lighting  for  my  cottage,  all  of  the  cooking  has  been  done  with  it,  also 
used  for  the  laundry,  and  the  gas  is  always  ready  at  a  moment’s  notice. 
It  has  heated  effectually,  all  of  the  chambers  that  I  have  connected  with 
the  gas  radiators,  and  I  can  say  that  I  would  not  have  it  taken  away  at 
double  the  expense  of  the  installation,  if  I  could  not  replace  it. 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

G.  K.  WEBSTER.

Gentlemen — Answering  your  request  of  the  16th  inst.,  would  say 
that  the  gas  machine  you  placed  for  me  in  April,  1904,  is  fully  up  to 
expectations,  and  with  the  assistance  of  your  mantle  burners,  we  have 
excellent  light.  After  its  completion  you  filled  the  tank,  holding  five 
barrels  of  gasoline.  We  have  not  added  any  to  it,  and  based  upon  a 
test  made  recently,  it  will  last  us  for  some  time.  It  has  not  required  any 
attention,  excepting  winding  it  up  several  times  a  week. 

Yours  respectfully,  GEO.  W.  STATZELL.

Dear  Sirs — -Your  letter  of  the  17th  October  addressed  to  my  sister, 
Mrs.  C.  E.  Buele,  Greenwood,  Va.,  was  duly  received.  She  has  asked  me 
to  write  to  you  in  her  behalf  that  the  machine  installed  by  you  at  her 
home  in  Albemarle  Co.,  Virginia,  has  been  most  satisfactory  in  every 
way.  The  light  is  very  steady  and  bright  and  is  produced  with  very 
little  trouble  in  the  way  of  attention  to  the  machine.  She  has  used  it 
for  the  past  two  summers  and  is  in  every  way  pleased  with  it. 

Yours  very  truly,  T.  C.  WILLIAMS,  Jr.

Gentlemen— I  think  it  but  just  that  I  should  express  my  satisfaction 
to  you  concerning  the  operation  of  the  gas  machine  furnished  me  about 
a  year  ago.  The  machine  is  one  of  your  smaller  sizes,  but  carries  about 
forty-five  lights,  and  each  individual  light  burns  brightly  even  when  all 
are  in  operation.  The  net  cost  to  me  is  extremely  small  and  I  am  getting 
better  results  in  this  machine  at  about  one-fourth  the  cost  than  were  re¬ 
ceived  by  me  through  the  use  of  a  modern  acetylene  machine  which  was 
removed  to  make  room  for  this  one. 

Very  truly  yours,  W.  E.  GREENWOOD.

Gentlemen — I  have  used  your  gas  machine  for  two  years  and  in  every 
way  it  has  proven  satisfactory.  I  am  very  much  pleased  with  the  ma¬ 
chine  both  for  lighting  and  heating. 

Most  respectfully,  THOMAS  J.  SALTNDERS.

that  the  gas  machine  and  fixtures  which  you  installed  in  my  residence 
have  been  highly  satisfactory.  I  am  pleased  with  the  character  of  the 
light  and  the  cost  of  lighting  is  less  than  you  estimated. 

Yours  very  truly,  B.  S.  ROYSTER.

Dear  Sirs — It  gives  me  pleasure  to  express  the  satisfaction  that  the 
Springfield  Gas  Machine  has  given  in  the  chemical  laboratory  of  the 
University  of  the  State  of  Florida.  A  year  and  a  half  ago,  we  installed 
an  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator  which  has  performed  its  work  perfectly 
and  has  become  indispensable  to  us.  I  have  no  hesitation  in  recommend¬ 
ing  it.  Very  truly  yours,  E.  R.  FLINT.

Gentlemen — Your  letter  of  the  8th  ;nst.,  was  received  by  the  pastor 
of  the  church  and  was  handed  to  me  only  today. 

In  reply  to  your  question,  if  our  gas  plant  which  is  in  use  in  our 
church  now  over  twenty  years,  is  giving  satisfaction,  wish  to  say  that  we 
like  it  very  well  and  that  since  we  put  an  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator 
with  our  machine  and  installed  two  six  burner  gas  arc  lights,  our  church 
is  lighted  better  than  any  church  in  this  town  and  that  with  the  use  of  a 
great  many  less  lights  than  we  had  before.  I  do  not  remember  how 
many  lights  we  used  to  have  on  our  two  chandeliers,  but  they  were  a 
great  many  and  quite  more  expensive  than  our  present  system.

Two  years  ago  I  bought  your  Machine  with  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator, 
which  was  installed  in  our  Daytona,  Fla.  residence.  This  machine  has

for  doing  our  cooking  and  washing.

Dear  Sirs — It  gives  me  pleasure  to  state  that  during  the  two  or  three 
years  that  we  have  used  your  gas  machines  we  have  never  had  the  slight¬ 
est  difficulty  with  them,  and  they  have  always  done  their  duty  in  every 
way,  shape  and  manner.  They  are  entirely  automatic,  and  I  do  not  see 
how  they  could  be  made  to  work  any  better. 

Yours  very  truly,  WALTER  FLINT. 


Malvern,  Chester  Co.,  Pa.,  October  23,  1905. 
Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Gentlemen — The  100-light  Springfield  Gas  Machine  you  installed 
nearly  two  years  ago  at  our  summer  residence  near  Malvern  has  given 
perfect  satisfaction  in  every  respect.  In  addition  to  lighting  the  dwelling, 
it  furnished  the  gas  to  run  one  Ericsson  pumping  engine  for  water  tower 
located  several  hundred  feet  from  the  house.  This  season  I  have  ex¬ 
tended  the  pipes  to  a  new  stable  and  carriage  house  introducing  nine 
gas  burners,  this  is  also  a  considerable  distance  from  the  house.  I  am 
using  your  small  mantles  consuming  one  and  one-fourth  feet  of  gas  per 
hour  and  have  a  much  brighter  light  than  we  get  at  our  city  residence  with 
the  U.  G.  I.  gas  and  large  mantles  with  Welsbach  burners.  Although 
we  are  running  25  to  30  lights  of  an  evening  and  have  several  burners  all 
night,  the  gasoline  tank  which  is  buried  in  the  ground  eighty  feet  from 
the  house,  has  not  yet  been  replenished  and  will  no  doubt  run  all  next 
season  without  refilling.  It  is  much  more  satisfactory  than  an  electric 
light  plant  and  much  less  trouble  and  expense.  In  conclusion  I  will  say, 
I  am  more  than  pleased  for  it  has  far  exceeded  our  expectations. 

Very  truly  yours,  FRED.  A.  DREER,

Gentlemen — In  reply  to  your  request  it  gives  me  pleasure  to  say,  I 
have  been  using  your  gas  machine  for  the  last  two  years,  it  has  never 
cost  me  a  dollar  for  repairs  and  is  the  best  and  most  reliable  gas  machine 
I  know  of.  I  am  now  lighting  five  stores,  three  houses,  my  hotel  and 
outside  grounds,  pumping  my  water  and  using  a  big  gas  range  on  your 
gas  machine,  and  will  say,  it  gives  a  clear,  steady,  bright  light  and 
entire  satisfaction  to  my  consumers  and  myself,  both  in  light  and  cost 
of  gas.  Yours  very  truly,  WM.  D.  ACTON.

Dear  Sirs — I  am  in  receipt  of  your  favor  of  the  17th  inst.,  and  in 
reply  take  pleasure  in  saying  we  have  used  the  gas  manufactured  by  one 
of  your  machines  for  lighting,  cooking  and  operating  an  automatic  hot 
water  heater,  for  three  years,  and  it  has  given  entire  satisfaction. 

Yours  very  truly,  CHARLES  E.  CLAPP. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co  Philmont,  N.  Y.,  June  9,  1905. 

Gentlemen — We  have  your  favor  of  recent  date  at  hand,  and  in  reply 
we  are  glad  to  say  anything  that  we  can  to  recommend  the  use  of  the 
Springfield  Gas  Machine  to  those  who  contemplate  the  use  of  gas  for 
illuminating  purposes,  for  isolated  plants.  We  have  used  your  machine 
for  lighting  our  mill  since  it  was  built  in  1879,  only  renewing  it  once,  in 
1885,  when  we  exchanged  for  a  larger  size  generator  which  has  been  in 
continuous  use  now  over  20  years,  and  this  250-light  machine  has  been 
carrying  nearly  300  lights  in  our  mill  and  about  100  lights  in  our  resi¬ 
dences.  While  we  have  sometimes  had  difficulty  in  getting  the  best 
results,  we  presume  it  is  owing  to  defective  arrangement  of  our  piping 
and  our  overtaxing  the  machine,  but  we  have  accomplished  our  illumi¬ 
nation,  nevertheless,  very  successfully,  and  we  unhesitatingly  recommend 
it  as  the  best  machine  of  its  kind,  especially  in  conjunction  with  your 
Automatic  Mixer.  We  have  recently  placed  our  order  with  you  for  a 
500-light  generator,  which  we  hope  soon  to  have  installed,  and  feel  con¬ 
fident  that  it  will  give  us  very  satisfactory  results. 

Yours  truly,  HIGH  ROCK  KNITTING  CO.,

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Saluda,  N.  C.,  October  19,  1905. 

My  Dear  Sirs — It  would  be  impossible  to  speak  too  highly  of  the 
merits  of  your  gas  machine  you  installed  in  my  house  in  May,  1904.  It 
has  never  given  the  smallest  trouble,  and  has  always  worked  to  perfection 
in  every  respect,  providing  a  splendid  light,  gas  for  all  kitchen  purposes, 
and  an  abundance  of  hot  water  for  bath  room  and  lavatories,  through 
the  Columbia  Water  Heater,  which  you  also  put  in  for  me  in  connection 
with  the  gas  machine.  As  an  eliminator  of  household  drudgery,  and  a 
most  economical  service  of  light  and  fuel,  (the  expense  in  our  case  for  all 
the  above  mentioned  purposes  not  exceeding  $5  per  month  for  gasoline), 
it  is  invaluable,  and  should  make  it  indispensable  to  any  country  house. 

I  am,  Very  truly  yours,  LEONARD  HEWETT. 

Gilbertville,  Mass.,  June  12,  1905. 

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co. 

Gentlemen — -The  Congregational  Church  in  Gilbertville  put  in  a  75- 
light  Springfield  Gas  Machine  in  1884,  three  years  ago  we  added  an  Auto¬ 
matic  Mixer  and  installed  five  incandescent  gas  arc  lights  which  took 
the  place  of  forty-four  arm  burners  with  thirty-six  openings  in  each 
burner. 

Since  making  this  change  our  gasoline  bills  have  been  reduced  more 
than  one-half  and  the  lighting  of  our  church  is  now  very  satisfactory.  A 
former  pastor  who  visited  us  said  we  had  the  best  lighted  audience  room 
he  had  been  in  anywhere.  Very  truly  yours, 

A.  H.  RICHARDSON,

Gilbert  &  Barker  Mfg.  Co.  Orange,  Conn.,  June  12,  1905. 

Dear  Sirs — In  reply  to  yours  of  the  7th  inst.,  would  say  that  we  have 
one  of  your  Springfield  Gasoline  Gas  Machines  of  150-light  capacity, 
with  Water-wheel  pump  and  Automatic  Mixer  which  you  installed  for 
us  last  November.  We  used  the  gas  to  light  three  residences,  seed  ware¬ 
house  and  barn.  We  have  in  use  about  125  burners  on  most  of  which 
we  use  Welsbach  mantles.  We  also  use  this  gas  for  fuel  purposes  in 
cooking  and  we  are  very  pleased  to  state  that  we  are  very  well  satisfied 
indeed  with  the  results  obtained  from  the  machine  thus  far.  The  machine 
has  been  absolutely  automatic  up  to  this  date.  We  have  not  been  obliged 
to  as  much  as  look  at  the  machine,  which,  considering  the  cold  weather  we 
had  last  winter,  we  consider  a  pretty  good  record. 

Yours  very  truly,  S.  D.  WOODRUFF  &  SONS.

Gentlemen—  I  have  one  of  your  Springfield  Gas  Machines  150-light 
with  Automatic  Mixer,  that  I  have  had  in  use  for  one  year. 

The  gas  lights  two  houses  and  one  store,  and  I  have  in  use  about 
75  burners,  mostly  incandescent,  the  gas  is  also  used  for  fuel  purposes  in 
cooking,  heating  water,  etc. 

I  have  run  the  machine  for  the  past  year  continuously,  it  has  worked 
very  nicely  and  we  think  here  that  it  is  about  perfect. 

I  take  pleasure  in  recommending  your  machine  to  any  one  in  want 
of  anything  in  this  line.  Yours  very  truly,

the  value  of  the  Springfield  Gas  Machine.  We  have  been  using  one  in 
combination  with  the  Automatic  Mixing  Regulator  for  several  years  with 
perfect  satisfaction.  The  gas  is  used  for  lighting  purposes  continuously, 
for  cooking,  for  heating  laundry  machines,  and  for  fuel  in  our  Physical
